Motor City Royals Series

“An explosively sexy start to the Motor City Royals series” from the author of the Billion $ Bastards Trilogy (Heroes & Heartbreakers).   Born into a family whose wealth grew from the seedy world of big-time crime, Ezekiel “Zee” Chase ran away as a teenager and made a home for himself on the streets of Detroit. By day, the mechanic works at a local garage. But by night, he throws down with the best of them in Detroit’s gritty underground fighting scene. With all those muscles, he’s never had trouble with women—until he meets one who challenges him to the greatest fight of his life . . . Tamara Eliot is a hardworking corporate high-flyer who appreciates the finer things in life. More than anything, though, she likes to be in control—and when Zee explodes into her life, she feels anything but. He’s the definition of a bad boy: brash, fiery, and of course, irresistibly hot. And there’s a darkness about him that keeps her coming back for more. As Zee takes Tamara deeper into a world she never knew existed, she just might prove to be the one opponent he won’t be able to dominate—at least not without some pleasurable convincing . . .    “If you like bad boy heroes and opposites attract stories with a healthy dose of super steamy scenes and a compelling and action-packed plot, Dirty for Me is for you.”—All About Romance   “An intense scorcher of a story that is sure to delight fans and win her a legion of new devotees . . .

Fueled by desire and anger, an ex-con plots to take everything he wants now that he’s free in this tale of romantic suspense from the author of Sin for Me. After eight years in prison, Levi Rush is finally out and back on the gritty streets of Detroit to claim the future he was owed. A future that includes the one woman he’s wanted for years—his former best friend Rachel. She’s the reason he went inside, and if getting her to do what he wants means buying the building that houses her tattoo studio and using it as leverage, then that’s what he’ll do. Because if there’s one thing he’s learned inside it’s that if you want to win, you have to play dirty.   Rachel Hamilton is a tattoo artist and one hell of a tough girl. Detroit is her home, and she’s determined to make it a better place. But her plans are threatened when her old friend Levi reappears and gives her an ultimatum: she gives herself to him body and soul, or else she and her business are out on the street. Levi’s got no room in his heart for anything but anger and the lust he’s been carrying around for so long. But the only thing stronger than the secrets of their shared past is their fiery attraction to each other…   Praise for Dirty For Me “An intense scorcher of a story that is sure to delight fans and win her a legion of new devotees…Unforgettable.”—RT Book Reviews, Top Pick “Tension and heat pervade the frequent sex scenes…Readers will eagerly anticipate future installments in the series.”—Publishers Weekly
